Spelling errors that drive you nuts!

mimaz · Dec 3, 2006

Now, I am far from a perfect speller, but here a couple of commonly misspelled (did I spell that correctly?) words that drive me nuts:

Fender Precision Bass, NOT Fender Percision Bass

Chevrolet Camaro, NOT Chevrolet Camero

What common (or not so common) ones drive you crazy?

Exacktly!

I keep screwing up "hear/here" but it's only because I'm not proof reading. I judge a person by how they spell "a lot", which is insane.

Percision Basses and Jass Basses have landed me a few good ebay deals. If you know what to search for, you'll get better deals

That sure is a nice base you have.

I always use spell check , I have actually have typed small words backwards such as soed instead of does. I would not be understood without it.

I can not spell , I ask the forgiveness of all.

What bugs me worse is the misunderstanding that "council" is "console", and/or "volted" is "vaulted". I'm constantly correcting my wife and she hates it. There are more, I just can't think of them.

What drives me nuts is people who mix up than/then..

It's more *than* two..

I'll go to the the grocery store, *then* the Post Office.

Might I add, accept vs. except.

I know what you mean...however, none of those misspellings are as annoying as the threads about spelling errors that are started several times a year.

"Rediculous"

"Defiantly" when they mean "definitely"

"Noone"

Probably TB's most common spelling mistake.

Makes for some interesting sentences:

I went to Guitar Center and the guy wanted to sell me a Warwick, but I defiantly wanted a Music Man.
